Sorry, but a pet peeve here:
HONE means sharpen. A barber who shaves with a straight razor will make the last few steps of sharpening by drawing the razor across a hone or a leather honing strap.
I can see how this meaning might be associated with the idea of setting a price, but it means sharpen, not arrive at.

HOME means come to the exact right position, as in coming home. Homing pigeons home in on a location. They are not honing pigeons, sharpening their claws in the barber shop....

So these jerks home in on Bose.

Erine....You're silly....and don't overthink this....

From McMillian Dictionary:

"hone in on something" : to give all your attention to something

So no...hone in is appropriate...
